ICE Logs Record Immigrant Arrests and Mistakenly Detains US Marshal
Pressure to meet daily arrest quotas has led ICE to adopt broader tactics, raising fresh concerns about due process
Overview
- ICE agents detained over 2,200 migrants in a single day, marking their highest one-day arrest total
- Hundreds of those arrested were enrolled in the Alternative to Detention program, which uses ankle monitors and regular check-ins
- White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller reportedly told ICE leaders they could face dismissal if they failed to reach a 3,000-arrest daily target
- In Tucson, a deputy US marshal was briefly held in a federal building after matching a general description of a deportation subject and was released once identified
- Civil liberties advocates and local officials warn that aggressive new tactics risk misidentifications and undermine migrants’ legal rights
